We hope to see you in the near future. We would be delighted to be a part of your event or special occasion, and would be delighted to reserve a piece of the restaurant or offer meals for your in-home or business gathering.

Patio reservations are only available on the same day. Request terrace seating the day of your reservation by calling the restaurant. Due to our limited capacity and to ensure the safest atmosphere possible, we kindly request that customers respect a 90-minute meal period. “We decided to come for our Anniversary dinner it was not only the best food we've ever had but the staff and chef made us feel like family. YOU MUST EAT HERE!!!” -Sarah R. “To say that we loved MIDA might be an understatement. From the food, to the service, and everything in between, MIDA made it worth it to travel into Boston on a Monday night in the middle of a boiling hot summer’s day for dinner… Just take our money. We can’t wait to go back.” -Katy N.

Colin and Heather Lynch, together with partner Jefferson Macklin, open Bar Mezzana, their first restaurant, in Boston's South End district. The team's energetic journey brings the simplicity and elegance of coastal Italian cooking to a modern, colorful environment at 360 Harrison Avenue, after more than 30 years of operating Barbara Lynch's internationally acclaimed restaurants. Genuine, warm service and hospitality are underlined by Aperol spritzes, an award-winning Crudo cuisine, and a career immersed in pasta creation. Bar Mezzana's wine program, led by Heather Lynch and Beverage Director Ryan Lotz, has a carefully chosen range of varietals to complement Chef Lynch's cuisine, including both well-known bottles and lesser-known (but equally excellent) finds. The cocktail menu has a similar chemistry with the meals. The list contains the perfect Negroni, the perfect Spritz, a handful of seasonal drinks, and a selection of Amari, all of which are heavily influenced by the seasons and traditional Italian cocktails. Colin is a native New Englander who grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts and attended the Culinary Institute of America for his Bachelor's Degree in Professional Studies before settling in Boston. He had an internship at Chef Barbara Lynch's flagship restaurant No. 9 Park while at the CIA and returned to work with Barbara after graduation. Chef Barbara Lynch got the James Beard Award for "Best Chef Northeast" in 2003 while he was on the team. After that, starting in 2004, Colin was appointed to Chef de Cuisine at No. 9 Park. Colin assisted Chef Barbara Lynch in developing menus and staff when she expanded to the South End with B&G Oysters and The Butcher Shop. Colin's efforts during the opening of Menton resulted in the restaurant receiving Boston's first Relais & Chateaux designation, being nominated for "Best New Restaurant" by the James Beard Foundation in 2011, being named one of the best new restaurants in the country by Esquire, and receiving The Boston Globe's first four-star review from food editor Devra First. Colin and his wife Heather Lynch, as well as former Gruppo colleague Jefferson Macklin, started their own restaurant in June 2016. The creative crudo, handmade pastas, and welcoming hospitality at Bar Mezzana in Boston's South End have won rave reviews from local press and guests.
